  Chapter 31 The Mortal World

  Then Reg assigned the purchasing tasks to the several apprentices present. When Reg looked at Yihua, there was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.

  "As for Yihua..."

  Reg hesitated for a moment, then said,
  "Just walk around the city. If you want to buy anything, you can take this opportunity to buy it."

  Yihua was about to take this opportunity to find out more. Read the information about the mortal world and find more ways to gain merit.

  Reg's words hit Yihua's heart, so he nodded.

  Looking around, seeing that no one had any objections, Reg nodded.

  "Then we will gather at the north gate of the city at noon. Let's disperse now."

  Seeing a few people leaving, Yihua also rode around the city and found a tavern.

  After uttering the truth after drinking, Yihua, who knew that the tavern was a good place to get information, stopped and led the magic mane horse into the tavern's stables.

  At this time, a young groom carrying a bucket happened to meet him.

  The moment he saw Yihua wearing the wizard's badge, the bucket in the young groom's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

  Ignoring the young man's gaffe, Yi Hua said casually:
  "Groomman, wash my horse and use the best fodder."

  "As you command! Master Wizard."

  The groom who reacted did not bother to pick up the bucket and lowered his head in a hurry. He nodded and bowed to Yihua.

  Before entering the tavern, Yihua thought for a while. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he took off the badge on his chest and stuffed it into his pocket.

  Entering the tavern, a middle-aged woman with slightly wrinkled face, rough palms and calluses glanced subconsciously.

  Seeing Yihua's exquisitely crafted white robe, his eyes lit up and he trotted over to meet her.

  "Sir, please come with me. What do you want?"

  Hearing the middle-aged woman's enthusiastic inquiry, Yihua recalled that he was busy on his way and had not eaten breakfast until noon, so he did not hesitate:
  "First come. Take a piece of white bread, add five steaks, and have a glass of Golden Ale."

  Golden Ale is a specialty of Wheat City. It is cool and refreshing, and is most suitable for quenching thirst in slightly hot weather.

  The middle-aged woman guided Yihua to a cubicle, but Yihua stopped midway.

  "No need, just stay here."

  In order to obtain information, Yihua shook his head and chose a relatively remote location in the hall.

  "Sir, how can you sit here? What if someone with blind eyes collides with you..."

  Seeing that the middle-aged woman seemed a little worried, Yihua waved his hand and popped out a gold coin, causing the middle-aged woman to exclaim. .

  The currencies of the mortal world are divided into three types: gold, silver and copper. One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper coins.

  The meals Yi Hua ordered were only worth one silver coin at most, and the tavern's monthly profit might not be worth even one gold coin.

  As soon as Yi Hua sat down in the corner, after a while, the golden ale with rich bubbles came out first.

  To be on the safe side, Yihua took a sip first.

  Although golden ale is alcohol, its content is similar to that of beer in the previous life. For Yihua, who has the physique of a great knight, it was decomposed as soon as he drank it.

  "Hey, have you heard? The ferocious beasts in Fangorn Forest have been rioting recently. It is said that several nearby villages have been slaughtered, and many wizards have even been buried in the forest!" I saw two people chatting in the tavern

  . In Fangorn Forest, Yihua quickly pricked up his ears and listened.

  As soon as the thin man finished speaking, the middle-aged man across the table quickly interrupted him.

  "Silence! Master Wizard, is it something you and I can talk about?"

  The thin man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly slapped himself twice. After a while, he sighed and said, "
  I don't know how long this riot will last. , will it affect us here? I rely on business to make a living. Now I am trapped here. If it continues, I will go bankrupt." Hearing this, the

  middle-aged man smiled, shook his head and said:

  "This is not a big deal. , In the early years, I heard from Grandpa Nairn next door that he also experienced the ferocious beast riots in Fangorn Forest when he was young. In the end, the wizards on the other side of the tower..." "You are so brave! How dare you

  default on the protection of our Giant Bear Gang. Fee? Are you tired of living?"

  A harsh roar sounded outside the store, and the two people who were discussing inside the store quickly shut up.

  The words were suddenly interrupted in the middle of the sentence. Yihua frowned and looked at the door of the store.

  After a while, the owner of the voice, a muscular bald man, strode into the store and asked the middle-aged woman in front of the counter: "How dare you
  default on the protection fee of five gold coins to our Giant Bear Gang? Your pub doesn't want to do that." Get on with it!"

  The middle-aged woman's face turned blue, and she was about to retort, but unexpectedly, the bald man grabbed the steak from the plate of the little blond girl next to the proprietress.

  In front of the pale little girl, he stuffed it into his mouth.

  "Yo? You know I'm hungry?"

  While chewing, the bald man rubbed his hand covered in grease and sauce on the middle-aged woman's apron.

  The bald man ate exactly the steak Yihua ordered.

  The middle-aged woman subconsciously glanced at Yihua in the corner. Seeing Yihua frowning slightly, she felt uneasy.

  "My husband clearly paid you protection money before he was alive. What do you mean?" The

  middle-aged woman was shocked and angry, and retorted calmly.

  "Handled it in? Do you have written evidence?"

  the bald man asked calmly.

  "Of course!"

  The middle-aged woman took out a slightly wrinkled piece of paper. Before he could react, he was snatched away by the bald man.

  The bald man took one look, sneered, and tore the paper in his hand into pieces.

  "How dare you lie to me with a fake certificate?"

  "That's obviously true!"

  The middle-aged woman who had just wanted to take the certificate saw this scene and was so anxious that she burst into tears. The little girl next to her hugged her immediately. Lives as a middle-aged woman.

  "Really? Do you have evidence?"

  The bald man said, and glanced at the little daughter who was hiding behind the middle-aged woman with long pale golden braids and was as cute as a doll with a malicious look.

  "If you don't have money, you can use your daughter to pay off the debt. Don't worry, our brothers from the Giant Bear Gang will take good care of her." After saying that, the bald man recalled the

  taste of the two girls he had obtained by the same method before, and said Bursts of obscene laughter.

  Although the methods are clumsy, for ordinary people, the Giant Bear Gang with an official knight standing behind it is completely untouchable.

  This was confirmed by the actions of the people around them who stopped moving when they heard the name "Giant Bear Gang".

  As for nobles and wizards?
  The Giant Bear Gang has been able to run rampant in Maisui City so far, so they naturally know who they can and cannot mess with.

  "Where did this bastard come from?"

  A discordant voice came, interrupting the bald man's fantasy.

  The owner of the voice was Yi Hua. Looking at the dark gray and thick halo of sin on the bald man's body, Yi Hua's eyes flashed coldly.

  "Boy, if you dare, say it again!"

  "What's wrong? You don't accept it?"

  Seeing Yihua's fearless counterattack, the bald man who was annoyed by Yihua angrily walked towards Yihua's location.

  Yihua, who was sitting there, didn't panic at all. He took out a gray stone badge from his pocket and pinned it on his chest calmly.
